Electrolux produces constant, steady cold . . • without machinery or moving parts FpHE trend in automatic reI frigeration today is all toward Electrolux. This newest, most modern refrigerator has no machinery, makes no sound. It remains silent for life, because there are no moving parts to wear, to vibrate and grow noisy with age. And instead of costing more to vse than old-fashioned refrigerators, Electrolux costs less. 5 to 10 cents a day pays for all the gas and water used by this modern marvel. Architects and builders all over the country have installed this refrigerator in the Bnest homes and apartments. More than 130.000 are now in use. A tiny gas flame and a small flow of water make Electrolux go.

Central

They circulate the harmless refrigerant, which is hermetically sealed in rigid steel and never needs renewal. This refrigerant is ordinary ammonia. The gas flame is completely protected by an automatic shut-off. The chilling process in Electrolux doesn’t alternately stop and start. It goes on continuously, and so the cold is constanL steady. See Electrolux at our showroom before buying any automatic refrigerator. Despite its many advantages, Electrolux prices are no higher. Made in ten household models, ranging from three cu, ft. to twenty cu. ft. capacity. And for complete information by mail, write or telephone us.

It has been said that the days of the matinee idol are gone. Perhaps that is true, at least the handsome hero of other days has passed the stage of usefulness. But there is an English actor in Claudette Colbert’s new starring picture, “Secrets of a Secretary’’ who bids fair to be a new kind of matinee idol. And when you see him in “Secrets of a Secretary’’ you’ll be more than apt to agree. The name of this actor is Herbert Marshall. Most recently he has been the star of the Philip Barry play, “Tomorrow And Tomorrow, which just completed a highly successful engagement on Broadwa. He is tall, handsome,distinguished, a veteran of the late war and who has become one of the most popular actors of the New York and London legitimate stage. As the English nobleman, who, under unusual circumstances, meets and falls in love with Claudette Colberi, Herbert Marshall captured the enthusiasm of preview audiences. But why say more about Herbert Marshall, you’ll known what all the shouting is about when you see him in “Secrets of a Secretary.” In addition to Claudette Colbert and Herbert Marshall, the cast includes Betty Lawford, Mary Boland, Georges Metaxa, Hugh O'Connell and Betty Garde. “Secrets of a secretary,” comes to the Rivoli Theater on

Sunday.

Every time a C. & O. locomotive whistles, somebody in your town thrills to the sound.

For it signals the arrival of welcome guests--words of cheer from far-off friends and relatives— commodities that will make life richer and happier. It calls you to depart for new adventures in otk^r cities and other lands. Its cheerful blast is a com- r ' forting reminder of the never-failing incomingand outgoing service that makes you a close

neighbor to all the world.

Reliability—that is the most valuable feature of the service offered you by the C. & O. But it expects to merit your continued good will by other qualities as well—economy, spiced and friendliness.
